He even promised the PKA he was going to shut down Access 1 at one of their meetings, on video. With zero concrete progress in replacing it with something else. <br /><br />This is why it was so important to get the Key districted back to a commissioner who values public access and wasn't going to waste any time reversing all the beach and parking closures Doug effected with the PKA and Dan Brown of National Parks. It's certainly one of my top reasons for lobbying for returning the Key to District 1.Mel Pinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11971072216525100802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317770170474039861.post-8339995038346099492024-03-15T23:25:49.284-05:002024-03-15T23:25:49.284-05:00Outstanding!!Outstanding!!Alice Hurst Nealnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317770170474039861.post-3698611268536240072024-03-15T16:19:33.553-05:002024-03-15T16:19:33.553-05:00Oh OK.

There were dozens of people who came to the podium over many, many meetings of both the Marine Advisory Committee meetings and BCC meetings whenever Doug would favor his constituents with actually putting action on the agenda, rather than running it in the dark. <br /><br />Tracy Olson McAdams literally staked things out on the daily for months on end to keep healthy trees from getting cut down. <br /><br />Are there diseased trees out there that are in imminent danger of coming down? Maybe. But I've seen too many times a too eager desire to just get rid of trees when the opportunity arises. They're such an inconvenience, you know. <br /><br />Hub Stacy has been agitating to get rid of some trees down there for a long time, although for the most part it's a pretty nice relationship down there between the County, Hub's, boat ramp folks and patrons. Hopefully Hub will also realize that one of the things that makes his establishment so special is that those trees having a cooling effect on a hot summer night. And of course it's not his property, although I love the old-timey relaxed nature out there and hope that parking situation doesn't change. <br /><br />Very grateful for your oversight. People should remember that if you hadn't reclaimed the Key and Innerarity as commissioner, those trees would already be down (although with a horribly dangerous dock built to satisfy commercial captains on the taxpayer dimes). God knows Doug did his worst on the park next door, including cutting down shoreline pines. He just loved to cut him down some shoreline pines.Mel Pinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11971072216525100802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317770170474039861.post-59441488828817709782024-03-14T16:35:37.693-05:002024-03-14T16:35:37.693-05:00Oh Mel cant help it she always talks about the Neg...Oh Mel cant help it she always talks about the Negative side.

It wasn't the tragedy. It was the people willing to make use of it for their own longevity and livelihood. <br /><br />And even before that, the same Administrator coming in with a wrecking ball on a very efficient EMS system, including playing politics with the Beach lifeguard unit and partnering with a certain Downtown player on a corrupt survey to force a replacement at the head of Public Safety. <br /><br />There's a direct line between those decisions and right now. And it shoots through the next administrator sewing chaos to divide and conquer, and sooooooo many government officials just keeping their heads down so they can make that bank. I do not class Wes Moreno with those officials. But I do agree with the previous poster that it's long past due that any members of Team Edler in ANY division, be it Ethics and Compliance or Public Safety or anywhere else, are sent packing from the County. <br /><br />No fricking wonder the County didn't come up with any of the results on the text investigation, considering who the lead investigator was.

That's what he actually wants folks to believe. Doug and his boy Jonathan= pure as driven snow and everyone else, every judge that ruled against Doug and Jonathan, the ethics boards, the numerous citizens that sent ethics complaints in on these two---yes all those citizens and officials are "corrupt" according to what Tallman wants his listeners to think.

We're moving that forward, along with our ordinance against standing in the roadway, as well as project reconnect. Now that the state has passed the law against free-form camping on county property, we will also look at requirements for a legal camping facility (which I supported and do support--like Satoshi Forest.) And then to top it off, we support an array of nonprofit organizations that help with the homeless as well.

The only problem with that is, Jonathan moved out of that house, into a much nicer house--AFTER REDISTRICTING AND INTO A HOUSE IN DISTRICT 2. Not District 1. Because that was when Johnathan was setting his sites on being Chance Walsh's aide if Chance had won the D2 commissioner race, which is why Jonathan bought a place that nearly put him in Chance's lap, as any of Jonathan's Good Friends would be more than well aware. <br /><br />He then wows his listeners with the (fake) paradox that his unfathomable philosopher's mind has been turning over, that (1) Jonathan didn't get his legal fees paid for for something he did while working at the County yet (2) the statute mandates that he had to obtain the confidential knowledge through the course of his government employment. <br /><br />McKay--there's a reasonable, necessary caveat to that. If the employee's actions are egregiously harmful, the County does not have to pay for their legal fees. You know. Kind of like how the County dropped the legal for the 4 paramedics--because what they looked to have done was SO EGREGIOUS. Et voila, poof--no more legal. Except what happens when a number of them were being framed, and therefore have been exonerated by the judicial system? That's right. Then they get to come back to the County for reimbursement, as is their right by law. <br /><br />Therefore, if Jonathan is exonerated by the Ethics Commission, he could make a case to come back for his legal. Doug was found guilty on several counts by the Ethics Committee, and fined 30 thousand dollars and recommended for removal, which is why nobody ever heard abouthim coming back to the County to pay for his legal on his ethics complaint. Something else you've never reported on, right Andrew? Because Doug was another Good Friend. <br /><br />How's it coming with Stroberger? Good Friends with him yet?Mel Pinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11971072216525100802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317770170474039861.post-86562520703582238742024-03-13T21:08:30.471-05:002024-03-13T21:08:30.471-05:00Unbelievable--he has actually outdone himself. Wha...Unbelievable--he has actually outdone himself. What an absolute load of horse crap. <br /><br />My favorite part is when he's getting ready to cut to commercial and does this "Oh and by the way" schtick as the music is rolling: <br /><br />"Full disclosure, Jonathan's a good friend, okay? So I don't want you to think I'm some neutral arbiter in all of this. I try my best to assess these things as a neutral person would....that's kind of my training as a philosopher." <br /><br />Ah yes, Andrew. Your brand is better known as sophistry, and let me guess your favorite chapter was the Schoolmen. <br /><br />How about a breakdown of the breakdown McKay has provided, focused on the 4 points of the statute that Jonathan has broken--all four of them, clearly broken--with Jonathan's "good friend" just doing his best to assess his crime neutrally. And how many of the 4 points of the law meet Jonathan's actions, according to Andrew? <br /><br />You guessed it, none of them. Not a single one of the four. Totally blameless babe in the woods that one. Blinking away tears through the snowflakes in his eyelashes. <br /><br />1. He didn't obtain the stolen private property and confidential County record because of his job at the County. He just claims it was slipped under his office door, no wait, it landed on his desk behind a locked door. Except Jonathan stated in his request for legal to be paid by the County that is happened during to the course of his employment. IT'S IN THE AGENDA BACKUP MCKAY. You know how to get to the backup, right? Now there's a *real* paradox for you, Andrew.<br /><br />2. The public wouldn't have had access to same confidential information. McKay first says, But the public *would* have access to all the public record (which is, of course, *not* what the ethics probable cause is about) and then says the public does have access to it because the PNJ has it. I guess I missed where the PNJ posted the entire contents of the phone for the public to access. <br /><br />3. He provided them to someone else. No getting around this, so McKay just glosses over it. And well he should, because his opinion that "the parts that are inconvenient [for Commissioner Bergosh] are all public record and/or of public interest" of course begs the question of whether his Good Friend has shown him the file that is beyond the public record.<br /><br />4. It could have resulted in individual benefit to him or someone else. McKay keeps the focus here on dithering about Jonathan being gerrymandered, poor guy hasn't said he's gonna run again, boo hoo, and keeps the attention away from the fact that Jonathan admitted publicly, ON MCKAY'S SHOW, that he gave it to a past employee BECAUSE IT MIGHT HELP HER IN HER LAWSUIT AGAINST THE COUNTY.<br /><br />Mel Pinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11971072216525100802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317770170474039861.post-24286127331260046872024-03-13T14:49:25.649-05:002024-03-13T14:49:25.649-05:008:40AM, Janie Brissett is still in the County Ethi...8:40AM, Janie Brissett is still in the County Ethics Department?Mel Pinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11971072216525100802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317770170474039861.post-38937826549484870102024-03-13T08:40:28.270-05:002024-03-13T08:40:28.270-05:00I think you are hyper focused on the wrong “case”....I think you are hyper focused on the wrong “case”.

B...314 It makes sense if you know the back story. <br /><br />But yes -- be careful because one can become what they fight.<br /><br /><br />Respectfully the chairman shouldn't allow attacks on individual commissioners. Even in public forum. Even if it's true. <br /><br />It would be nice to get back to the old way of respect, taking turns, if you don't like what a public official is doing run against them and see if you can do better.<br /><br />Also constitutionals are not suppose to support and or disgrace others running for office or elected however that has gone on. Facebook had a lot to do with that. Conflict, interaction and drama. <br /><br />We have secret ballots, laws and constitutions for a reason but social media has upset the balance of decorum and respect.
